Blogging and Commenting is fun.

You find people with the same interests as you and share ideas. The way you share involves three steps:

  1. Blog yourself on interesting (but public and positive) topics adding a clever title at the top and specific tag words in the label/tag area.
  2. Comment with courtesy on someone else's blog.
  3. Reply back to people who comment on your blog.

 

Bloggers Write Well

Bloggers appreciate good writing on interesting topics -- and every one has a topic of interest to someone else.  Luckily, the more you read blogs and the more you blog, the better blog writer you will be!  So we will start by commenting on other blogs! More tips here.

First, remember our Wiki Etiquette. Be overly friendly and positive. Tell the writer why you read their blog and what you liked.  Add any info you know about it that the blogger might not know.  Have a friendly conversation.  :)

Student Comment Text Requirements:

 

Our goals:

Look for what the writer was trying to do (this should be in the directions or comment area).

Were they trying for careful content, logical organization, or certain style?

Were they practicing a skill (nouns, verbs, figurative language)?

Comment on their success.

 

 

Comment Guidelines

 

Please keep in mind the following guidelines:

  1. Speak directly to the student or teacher whose post you are responding to.

  2. Quote from the post or describe specific details (of an image or video).

  3. Relate the work to your own experiences or to another text, image, video, or audio that this one reminds you of.

  4. Notice their successful attempts at their goals for the piece of writing.

  5. Share an attempt you made if possible.

  6. Offer one idea related to the goal in a question form. (Example: Would ________________ work?)

  7. Be encouraging and generous with your remarks.

  8. End on a positive note.

 

Note: Youth Voices suggest 1-3, 7-8 and we added 4-5-6

 

 

 

 

 

Note: You may want to copy and past a templete from the next section.

 

Templates

 

Here's our post suggestions based on Youth Voices General Response Template.

 

 

Dear ________name of blogger_________,

 

I read your writing called, "_______Exact Title__________."

 

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "________paste quote here__________"

 

This quote reminds me of something that happened to me.    __________write your experience here___________.

 

I think __________connect your experience to the quote here _______________.

 

I like how you tried to _________use skill, idea, style, voice____________ when you said, "___________paste text example here______________."

 

In my piece called _______your title here__________, I tried this by writing "_______________your attempt here_________________."

 

Would writing ___________an example___________ work here?

 

Thanks for your writing because ________ explain what you learned here__________.

 

Your code name

 

 

Disagree or Agree?  Use this template:

 

Dear <First Name of Poster>:

 

I <past tense verb showing emotion> your <poem/post/image/letter...>, "<Exact Title>," because... <add 2 or 3 sentences>

 

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "<Quote from message.>" I think this is <adjective> because... <add 1 or 2 sentences>

 

Another sentence that I <past tense verb>  was: "<Copy a sentence or line from the post.>" This stood out for me because...

 

I do/don't <adverb> agree with you that...__________________.  One reason I say this is... ____________________. Another reason I agree/disagree with you is..._______________________.

 

Even so, I like how you tried to _________use skill, idea, style, voice____________ when you said, "___________paste text example here______________."

 

In my piece called _______your title here__________, I tried this by writing "_______________your attempt here_________________."

 

Would writing ___________an example___________ work here?

 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because...________________< add 2 or 3 sentences explaining what will bring you back to see more about this person's thoughts.>

 

Your code name

 

 

Lastly, remember our Wiki Etiquette. Be overly friendly and positive. Tell the writer why you read their blog and what you liked.  Add any info you know about it that the blogger might not know.  Have a friendly conversation.  :)
